    Nothing wrong with fake b00bs.

    We modify nearly every aspect of our Tundras. 99% of us do not end up with a fully "natural" (stock) rig. Boobs are no different. Obviously there are good jobs and bad ones :p

    No flares for me. The paint has already seen trail abuse otherwise I would've gone PPF and flares. 0 offset so I've got about an inch and a half of poke.A0092F5A-FFDA-4D61-9F52-A849D9A46AA1.jpg

    My feeling is only if you need em.
    For trucks IMO less is more.

    Well for now I’m going to put the flares back on. Was out driving some roads in the desert the other day and when I washed the truck I noticed some new rock chips. I believe the flares would have prevented that. I also removed and sold the predator steps and installed the RB20’s today. 36DECF9E-9E2F-4ACC-B166-46A0DAA1E5F2.jpgA7301C2E-FB8D-4093-9E5F-AD5B7300D583.jpg

    Side bar... Walking with my wife at times, we see a hottie with major headlights and wife always says, "they're fake" and I always say, "so what".

    They look good but add some mud or snow and your shin might pay the price.

    Did the flares come with the black hardware or did you find somewhere that sells it?

    True but I hated the predator steps and with wife and kids they were a good compromise. If it was my choice I would go without any steps.

    I had bushwacker flares for a few months and decided I like the extra poke so took them off.

    I like the non-riveted style flares. I wanted to get a set but then one of my buddies had a branch catch his and rip it off while wheeling. I hit enough tight trails that i don't want to risk that.

    I like Flares more than rock chips.

    First post, and just adding that I also went with the EAG flares. Was hesitant after reading some of the reviews but they went on pretty seamlessly and fit very well. PPF went on pretty easy also. Additionally, I think they blend pretty well with the factory black bumper trim.

    If you're looking for something on the smaller side, I highly recommend.
